Free prescriptions explained: Who is eligible and how to claim discount | Personal Finance | Finance
Recently, the UK Government has been advocating for prescription holders to purchase a pre-payment certificate (PPC) to provide a much needed discount for those who are unable to claim free prescriptions.
The average prescription cost in England is £9.35 per item. Due to many older and vulnerable people having multiple medications to pick up monthly or weekly, costs often rise higher for households.
A three-month PPC costs £30.25 per individual and an annual certificate is priced at £108.10. While many choose to pay this fee all at once, it is possible to spread the cost over 10 months paying £10.81 per month.
Once someone is in receipt of this discount, all of their prescriptions are covered under it.
